mile pull on Calumet Lake. When the two
men first came out on the course the water
was little rough, but this had no deter.
ring influence, and the start was made with
promptness. Hanlan was at once trifle
in the lead, pulling short quick stretches,
forty-two per minute. Gaudaur kept close
to him with steady sweeps, about thirty.

ahead, and at the end OF the initial mile
was fully length in advance. Before the

the front till entering the third mile, when
he commenced to flag, his stroke became
uneven, and rowing seemed to require great
exertion. Gaudaur was rowing magnif.

under adverse conditions. After the race
Hanlan said he did not think Gaudaur the
best man. although he acknowledged him

the sullivan-Cardiff fight has caused so
much interest as the fight between Tommy
Warren, of Louisville, champion feather

shoulders. They were weighed this morn

by Patsy Cardiff and John Donaldson, and
Danforth by John P. Glow and Daniel
Needham. Both men appeared in perfect

sponded promptly for the first round. For
ten unds the men were pretty evenly
matched. It was give and take, and the

but fought bravelv to the end, when he
was laid out for good by u blow on the
jugular.
